Cloud Computing Will Cause Reallocation of IT Spending

Author: · May 31, 2012 · Filed Under General  - 0 Comment(s)

According to Gartner Group: By 2020, the IT resources dedicated to operating IT Infrastructure will plummet from about  70 percent to about  35 per cent of resources, according to the Gartner report, New Skills for the New IT.

THis does not mean IT costs will go down, just that the costs will be reallocated.  They also predict that 50 percent of costs will be the cost of cloud computing itself, as discovered by Gartner’s CIO survey.
